USA under presidency of a know-nothing, neo-fascist, racist, sexist, mobbed-up narcissist!!

[Peter Lemkin]

The fact that I live outside the USA [not by choice by the way - I had death threats from those who run the 'joint'] doesn't make me any less aware or concerned than anyone who does. I do return to visit and even flurted with a return in my last years - NOW out of the question - but likely was not to be anyway. I get the 'treatment' when back - so YOU don't understand as I do what 'vulnerable' sections of society fear and face.

Peace, brother.

I'm just saying you don't face the loss of your health care, or the loss of your home, due to Republican policies.

I do. If a Trump Supreme Court rules rent control unconstitutional -- I'm homeless.

Our circumstances are not the same.

I go with what Bernie says now when told he could have won -- "So what?"

Your circumstances most certainly are not the same, Cliff.

For clarification, I would advise you not to talk about future homelessness and loss of health care to someone who has already suffered both --- and worse.

Just sayin'...

I don't think it appropriate now and here to go trough again what I endured in the past. Let's just say it was rough and included many, many years of homelessness after being very secure in life. So, I've been where you fear to go. I feel for your fears and those of millions of others under the coming Administration - but many have suffered under all past Administrations too. I hate the ideas/values/goals of Trump [minus a very few I've mentioned before] as much or perhaps more than you do.

If I criticize the Democrats it is only because they deserve it for their wrongdoing and cozying up to the [and being controlled] by the hidden forces that 'control' the USA. We have IMO only one party in the USA - The American Corporate/Big-Finance/War/Intelligence/Military/Oligarchy Party. Yes, it has two wings and I readily admit one is much less cruel and insane than the other - mostly on some domestic issues. However, they both represent the same most important issues of the ruling elites - but also represent small splits in them. Neither is good for the health of the World nor the citizenry of the USA, IMO. We can do better and must - that means abandoning them and forming other parties and NOT relying on voting every two or four years...but 'voting' every day, every week, every month by active participation in private and group action and demonstrations - using democracy all the time. Use it or loose it is now going to be very apparent in coming years!

The Mayor of NYC has been very outspoken in recent days that he will do everything in his power to resist the Trump ideas and protect vulnerable persons in NYC. If other mayors and governors would do the same, it will help.

I would hope that this election if one can call it that will enlighten many more to the broken system and the need for a totally new one - bottom-up and multi-party; citizen activism and demonstrations; consensus building and new structures and ideals/goals not envisioned even by the 'lesser of evils' party. It can be done. In fact, I feel sure if it is not done, even getting rid of Trump in four years or less [impeachment or something like that] will not solve the basic problems, which are systemic and hurting the entire Planet, other countries and ourselves. We owe it to the future, if there is to be one!
